Over the 28 years that I was involved in the wedding flower business, I had quite a few brides and grooms who made me proud to be associated with them. Here are two of them: (Click to enlarge)



And here is Sarah getting ready before the ceremony (2002). The woman who referred Casey and Sarah to me told me about them; he had been orphaned at a young age, and even though he had a lot of trials and tribulations in his life, he grew up to become an exemplary young man, cherished by all who knew him. She didn't know much about Sarah, but over the course of the wedding planning, I came to know her as the kind of young woman of whom anyone would say the same. This article puts the exclamation point on it.

I love reading about people like that! One of the missionary kids from Haiti worked in England for a time in a ministry using soccer as an avenue for witness. They work with the organization's headquarters in the States now.
